that city laat week.
—Dr. and Mra. J. A. Roberts▪ on, of &rat-
fordncelebrateel their twenty-fifth annivers.
art, of their wedding on Friday, December
29th. A large number of guests from a
dietetic°, as well as those in Stratford were
present to enjoy the hospitality of Dr. and
Mrs. Robertson, and to congratulate them
on the occasion of the gathering.
—MraJohn A.Coppin, of Mitchell, was ac-
cidently poieoned one night laat week. For
some time prat she has been suffering from
inflammation and other diseases. Through
carelessness the nurse gave- her liniment to
drink instead of the proper medicine. The
doctor was summoned and pranounced her
life in danger. After working with her for
sieveral hours he declared her to be out of
danger. Mrs. Coppin is the daughter-in-
law of License Inspector Coppin, one of the
best known men in Perth county.
—Mrs. Catharine McMurray died on Sat-
urday morning, December 30th, at her home
in the township of Hibbert, near Mitchell.
She was the:wife of James Mcailurray,ain �ld
and respected resident of that section, and a
consistent member of Knox church, Mitch-.
ell. She had been ailing for a few months
until death came. She was 58 years of age.
Besides her husband, she leaves a grown-up
-family to mourn the loss of a kind mother.
—The marriage of Rev. William Cooper,
pastor of the Presbyterian church, Port
Perry, to Miss Laura K. Draper, of Listowd,
youngest daughter of the late George Drap-
er, was celebrated at the family residence,
"Thanavalla," at noon, December 27tar.
The ceremony was performed by the Rev;
Professor Murison, of Toronto, assisted by
Rev. J. S. Hardie, pastor of Knox chili -oh,
Listowel. The young bride looked well in a
travelling costume of violet broadcloth with
toque of violet and grebe.
—A pretty wedding was celebrated at the
home or Mere Newell, of South Easthope,
Wednesday afternoon'January Srd, when
her daughters Miss Jennie Newell, was
-married to Mr. John R. Hislop, of the sap -ie
township. The ceremony was performed hy

-ford, in the presence of a select number of
friends and relatives of the contracting
part ies.
—When returning from a visit to friends
in Logan the other evening Mraand Mrs. I.
Hord, of Mitchell, had quite an adventua .
Their horse took a notion to kick, and thsu
ran away. The occupants of the cutter
'were thrown out on to the snow, but Mr.
Hord held on to one line, which had the
effect of turning the maddened horse into
t,he fence corner. Here his temper calmed
down, the cutter was righted and home
was soon reached without further mishap.
—The third annual assembly of the Dow-
nie young people took place at Meyers' hall,
Stratford, Friday night, December 24th.
There was a large attendance, aboat 100
couples being present, and a delightful lime
was &pent. Supper was served at 12:30,
but the dance continued until an early hour.
The management committee comprised
Messrs. B. McDermott, B. Payton W.
Kerney and T. Kerney, to whose efforts
the success of the assembly is largely dae.
—The Sunday school entertainment in the
1. 0. F. hall on Wednesday evening, Jan-
uary 3rd, in Sebringville, was a succeas in
every respect. Rev. D. ;Deacon, M. A. R.
D., occupied the chair with his usual ability
and the little ones excelled themselves in
carrying out their part of the programme.
The flag drill, a fine patriotic piece, was
particularly good and reflected credit on the
girls as well as on those who trained them.
The proceeds amounted to $16.
—Mr. A. E. Neil, who resigned his posi-
tion as G. T. R. despatcher in Stratford,
was on New Year's day presented with a
handsome gold headed cane and an address
by some of his railroad friends. Mr. Neil
served the 0. T. R. in Stratford for 23 years
and had the good fortune during that time
never to have had an accident or to have
been concerned in any loss to the company.
Mr. Neil has been assisting in the superin-
tendent's offices in Toronta lately, and was
home for the holidays, when his friends
seized the opportunity of showing the es-
teem in which he was held by them.
—The Clinton News -Record eaye, :
Captain Combe, of Clinton, received a
letter lately from Ben Webb, of the first
Canadian contingent. It was written when
the troops were four days out from Cape
Town and gave a detailed account of rifle
practice, drill, etc. Ben says that camp
life was child's play compared with the head
life on board ship, where it was drill from
the rising of the sun to the going down
thereof. There were many discomforts, but
the men were in good spirits, and it was all
for Queen and country. '
--The annual meeting of the, Goderich
curling club was held in the court house on
Tuesday evening, the 3rd inst., when the

ing year : Patronesees, Mrs. M. Hutchi-

CHARMS AND WITCHCRAFT.
The Malay Is a Firm Believer In
Their Efficacy.
The .1Sla1ay is a firm belieVaita in the
efficacy of charms. He wears amulets,
WO (TS Nvritteti words of magic In houses
Land ,pcirts a tiger's claw as a preventive
of disease. If he is specially primitive
and hachwoodsy, when he enters a forest
he says: "Go to the right, all my enemies
and assailants! May_you_not look upon
inc; let me walk alone!" To allay a
t-torm he says: "The elephants' collect,
they wallow across the sea. ' Go to the
tight, go to the left, I break the tempest."
'When about to begin an elephant hunt,
_ according to Thompson, he uses this
charm: "The 'elephant trumpets, he wal-
lows across the lake. The pot boils, the
pan boils across the point. Go to the left,
go to the right, spirit of grandfather (the
elephant); 1 loose the fingers upon the
bowstring."
The Malay believes in witches and
witchcraft. There is the bottle ithp, the
Poloug, which feeds on its owner's blood
till the time comes for it. to take Posses -
ion of an enemy.. Then there is a horrid
thing, the Ponangalan, which possesses
women. Frequently it leaves its rightful
abode to fly away at night to feed on
blood, taking the form of the .head and
intestines of the person it inhabited, in
which shape it wanders around.
Such beliefs may perhaps have theis
.origin in Metempsychosis, which lin other
sways has some foothold araong the cons -
Men people. For instance, .1eihtfntsand
tigers ore believed sometimes tq be hu-
man souls in disguise, and so th� Malay
addresses them as "grandfather" to allay
their wrath and avoid direct refe enceeto
them. Crocodiles also are often regarded
as sacred, and special charms re used.
in fishing for them. One -such, iven by
Maxwell, is as follows: "Oh, Dangsaris
lotus flower, receive what I se id thee.
If thou receivest it not, may thy eyes be
torn out."—It. Clyde Ford in Popular
Science Monthly.
The Three Greatest.
' The most remarkable paper of the most
remarkable year of the moat remarkable
century, is undoubtedy the "Family Her-
ald and Weekly Star, ' of Montreal. It is
said that no less than twenty thousand new
subscribers were received by that paper in
December. The Family Herald's " suc-
cess is pheaomenal and well deserved. Less
than two per cent. of their last year's sub.
scribers failed to renew before the expiring
dates, and these few will, no doubt, again
Cjoin the ranks when they find out their loss.
iThe publishers are gueranteeing the beanti-
,4ful pictures, " Alma " and "Pussy Wil-
' lows" through this; month, but not guarati-
i feeing later, as the supply is fast being ex-
hausted, and it is scarcely possible they will
be able to get more.
—Rev. H. C. Landsky, who has been
eleven and a half years pastor of theTvan-
gelical Lutheran Congregations at Logan
and Mitchell, was married at Port Huron,
Michigan, to Miss Bertha Riebling, Decem-
ber 27th, 1899. Rev. and Mrs. Landflky
arrived home the next day, where the ladies
of the congregation gave their pester and his
wife a surprise party, and presented them
with a fine parlor set, a dinner set and a
wash stand.
